Hello Everyone:
I am new to the list. I am hoping you can help me find parents and
siblings for ALBERT GALLATIN CAMPBELL b 1804-5 in SC, according to 1850,
1860, 1870 censuses. He married Sarah Pierce 22 Feb 1834 in Davidson
Co. TN, they had John (b Jan 1835) and Elizabeth (b 1837)before leaving
TN. They were in San Augustine Co. TX by 1 Mar 1838 (Land grant
records)and had 8 more children in San Augustine & Nacogdoches Co. in
the next few years (Margaret 1839, Sarah 1841, James 1843, William 1844,
Cintha Ann 1846, Washington 1848, Alexander 1849 and Mary 1851) By 1860
the family was in Anderson Co. TX and had added 2 more children to their
group, Martha 1853 and Albert 1858. Albert G died in Anderson Co. TX
1876. His wife Sarah returned to TN for a visit, was in a carriage
accident, died and was buried there by family.
Davidson Co. TN records list an Albert G. Campbell (b 1810 TN)whose
brother was Patrick Washington Campbell, but he doesn't quite fit my
records (1804 vs 1810, SC vs TN) I don't find another Albert G. in that
time & place.
Also it seems every Campbell family I have researched has the same given
names, and I'm having a difficult time trying to sort the lists. Any
help would be VERY MUCH appreciated. (Thanks for letting me air these
frustrations, I feel better already.) Perhaps other Campbells followed
this immigration pattern & I can find my place: 1800 SC> 1834 TN> 1838
TX.
(Family story is that we've got a MacGregor back there somewhere in the
1700's who changed his name to Campbell, any takers on that bit of
data? How will I know when I hit that name-switch?)

I am searching for information about an uncle, Travis Campbell, born about
1925 maybe in TN, He last lived in Kingsport, TN area, Travis first
married Wanda Ball of Cincinnatti, Ohio , second married Ava _____. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

I am searching for relatives of Christine Grace Campbell Whyte, born in
1866
in Scotland. She was married to James Whyte in the 1880's in Glascow,
Scotland. James was a Brass Molder. Their address in Glascow was Glen
Park
St., Glascow, Scotland. They had seven children - Gilbert, John, James,
Willie, Joe, Bob and Bessie. James died in Scotland or Ireland and
Christine
brought their children to the United States around 1900 to live with her
brother (name unknown). My grandmother, Bessie, came to northwest Alabama
as an indentured servant. After her indentured time was served, she
married
my grandfather, John William Hinds. Bessie was born in 1886. I know at
least one brother came to Alabama also.
I would appreciate any information anyone has and will share any
information
that I find.

My grandfather, James Campbell was born in Glasgow Scotland in 1881.
When checking the 1881 census record for the Blackfriars district of
Glasgow, he was listed with Richard Campbell, Head, 28, Plumber, born
Lanark Lanarkshire and Margaret, wife, 27, Keeps House, born Glasgow.
My grandfather was listed as James, Adopted, 3 months, born Glasgow.
In the 1891 census James is listed with Richard and Margaret as well as
Richard, Son, 4, born Lanarkshire and Archibald, son, 2, born
Lanarkshire.
How do I find out who is real parents are? Does anyone know of any
adoption records in Scotland? Also, is he considered a true Campbell?
Thanks....Nancy Campbell Hartje

The General Register Office in Edinburgh may be able to help you. It
is the home of the Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
The address is
http://www.open.gov.uk/gros/groshome.htm
Their Register of Adopted Children dates only from 1930, but it would
certainly be worth writing to them.
The 1881 Census was taken on 3 April, so you can be fairly sure that
James was born in December 1880 or January 1881. There will be a
record of his natural birth in GRO, and the problem of course is
finding it! Perhaps he was the son of a relative. There may be a court
record of the adoption. But I'm afraid I don't know enough about these
matters to advise you. So I recommend that you consider posting an
enquiry to the newsgroup soc.genealogy.britain where there are
experienced genealogists who would be happy to help you. If you do
this, I suggest you make the subject heading something like "Scottish
adoption records: c1881" rather than "James Campbell".
Yes, of course your grandfather is a true Campbell. Don't let anyone
try to persuade you otherwise. You have the evidence - as much as most
of us have. We don't really know who was between the sheets or under
the haystack all these years ago.
I hope this is of some help.

Hi John,
The Scots women have always kept their maiden names in some way.
On many documents in Scottish records you'd find them listed as
"Margaret Campbell or Graham," on their tombstones "Margaret
Campbell
wife of John Graham." Their families often would call them "Margaret
Campbell" to help keep all the Margarets in the family sorted out.
This is one of the reasons it is a blessing to chase Scottish
ancestors, you can usually find the maiden names buried somewhere!

Thank you Karl Blount--Thank you ten million times for this wonderful
information.
I am searching for one Angus McCallum/McAllum who came to Macon, GA from
Robeson Co. NC. Know he was in Macon by 1826. Nevin McBride(bless the
mother who named him 'Nevin' because he is easy to track)is this Angus
McCallum's wife's(Mary)brother.
Please has this diary been published by anyone. I am interested in
tracking these names and people with whom he moved and had contact along
their way.
I wonder how they knew to go the route they took, how they knew where
and with whom to sleep and eat and how they knew where they were going?
Does anyone really know?
I am looking for three diaries by the above Mary McCallum(wife of my
Angus) which I have been told do exist--perhaps owned by a collector.
If we can locate more diaries, we might have a chance of locating some
of theses people.

Also, can you please put me on the Campbell List Serve?
Thank you again.

I was hoping that you would receive an answer from someone more expert
than me. You haven't, at least not publicly, so here are a few
comments.
I have seen a few census entries where a married woman is listed by
her maiden name, although it is not a common practice. The logic
behind such an entry is likely to be that, on marriage, a woman in
Scotland did not lose her maiden name: she gained her husband's name.
Your Margaret would be known legally as "Margaret Campbell or Graham",
and she could use either surname (or both). If she has a headstone, it
will almost certainly say something like "Here lies Margaret Campbell,
wife of John Graham". This usage is quite distinct from the use of
more than one forename. For example, Margaret could have called
herself Margaret C Graham only if the C stood for, perhaps, Catriona;
the C would not have stood for Campbell.
I hope this is of some help.

Hi Campbell friends - Thought this might interest someone -
This Baby Girl Arrives Ready for Real Meal
While most youngsters have to worry along for upwards of a year with
nothing more solid than gums for mastication purposes, wee Miss Carole Jean
Campbell was already equipped with one molar when arrived September 3 at
the home of Mr and Mrs. Chester J. Campbell, 709 South Euclid avenue, it
was announced today.
Examination of the tot's mouth on the day of her birth is declared to have
revealed one tooth already through at the front of her lower jaw and today
a second tooth was reported to have put in an appearance. Both she and her
mother are said to be doing nicely. The Daily Report, Ontario, San
Bernardino county, CA 16 Sep 1933
Copied and submitted by Nancy Giles.

Hi folks!
I have a theory which connects two semi-separate lines that I'd like to test
with any of the folks who have Campbells in the parish of
Kilcalmonell/Kilberry in the region of Knapdale, Argyll.
Here's the idea.
My GGG-Grandmother was Margaret Campbell, b. abt 1800 in the Argyll parish
of Kilcalmonell/Kilberry. She married John Graham in 1824 and they had
several kids and moved to Perth County, Ontario, Canada in late 1840's.
Now, stay with me, John Graham died in 1855 and named as executors to his
will the local brothers Neil (b.1803)and John Stevenson (b.1818).
John and Neil had come from the same parish in Argyll as the Grahams but had
arrived in Perth County in the early 1840's.
John Stevenson had also married Janet Graham, a daughter of John Graham and
Margaret Campbell, so that's one connection.
Now, a perusal of the Scottish church records for Kilberry/etc. show that
the Stevenson brothers are the issue of James Stivenson (always spelled this
way) and Isobel CAMPBELL!
So, that's the theory, does anyone out there connect up to any of these two
Campbell ladies and could there be a connection between Margaret and Isobel?
Cousins? Sisters? Isobel would be much older than Margaret, but the age
gap would be similar to that between Neil and John Stevenson, so maybe.
I'm working on this possibility right now, but any extra help that anyone
could provide would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi all,
I've posted my Campbells here a long while back (and had great help, thanks)
but I've got a bit of new info to share.
My Campbell is Margaret Campbell, b. abt 1800 in the Argyll parish of
Kilcalmonell/Kilberry. She married John Graham in 1824 and they had several
kids and moved to Perth County, Ontario, Canada in late 1840's.
SO, I found this family in the 1840 Scottish census in the first district of
Kilberry (516) at a farm called Balmar or Balnar. In this record Margaret
is listed under her maiden name and not as a Graham! I was wondering why
this would be? The two of them WERE married and the '41 census is usually
pretty skimpy on details, so why list Margaret as a Campbell? Could she
have been from a prominent Campbell family and was flaunting it or is there
there a less exciting reason?
Not much to go on, but are there any ideas about this, or folks who
recognize their farm?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Yrs,
